The Jura-Museum Eichstätt (i.e. the Eichstätt Museum of the Jurassic) is a natural history museum dedicated to the world-famous fossils of the Solnhofen Limestone. It houses an original of the “dino-bird” Archaeopteryx in an exhibition on bird evolution and flying animals. It is also home to Europe’s best-preserved theropod dinosaur. Ecology of the Solnhofen fossils as well as biomechanics and evolution of fish, squids and marine reptiles are also a major focus of the exhibition. Gorgeous aquaria with living coral reefs serve as a living model of and comparison to the fauna of Jurassic times, some 150 million years ago.
